RA Winning conditions bug?

Ok so I was doing RA for the zquest and actually got a good team,we stomped to 8 wins and then disaster struck on the next round and one of our guys dc'd, just as we were coming in so it was 3v4. We however didn't die once and killed 3 of them, drawing out the match as we thought we'd get the win. Turns out we don't because of our dc'd guy appearing grey, despite us killing the opposition and them not killing us. Bug or just plain screwed up?

If you don't kill the enemy team before the time runs out the team with higher morale wins. A char who does not load counts as having 60% DP, that's why you lost.

I guess what -Vertex- is saying is: It is just plain screwed up.

If it worked any other way, it would be to easy to abuse.

Example. Your Team Arena team is ahead with 15 seconds to go on the countdown timer. One more kill by the other side and they will win. You get attacked and are about to die. What would people do? They'd leave the game and force your team to get a win by preventing the other side from killing you.

lololololol, really bad example because that's just so stupid nobody would ever even think of seriously doing that.

it's just because it's anet and that's how screwed they are.

Oh yes they do. RA is SERIOUS. Don;t go in there looking for a few wins cuse people just suck. thre are people that start in different districts to build up a few wins against people with lag just to get those extra one or two wins.

I got dishonored by one of the groups that I went with cause I said that I was trying a new build!!! I had to protest it with Anet and it finally got resolved but to 2 escalations of my ticket and a copy of the chat log to do it!!!

They are nuts there. If you can imagine some way to do something...then it has been done. Try going to Ascalon Arean. You'll get owned. There are even some lvl 11's there and 10's the max so figure that out.

By the way Grats to all those who figure these things out!!

As for they guy getting dc'd as soon as you see one guy gone..its all over. you can not win.

They level up to level 11 by coming in at level 10 and gaining experience from killing other players, and then proceed to level up.

Grats to me.
